Disabling live testing of APIs

You can disable live testing of APIs in the Developer Portal to restrict exposure of an API.

Before you begin

    You have disabled live testing of APIs. To enable live testing of APIs, repeat the steps and ensure that the Allow live testing of APIs check box is selected.
